we have been made aware of a very convincing phone scam that is focusing on our workshop participants. Participants may be contacted by phone by a firm called Business Travel Management to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This includes a request to enter credit card information.

Please note, INI will never contact you over the phone requesting card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.

If you have been contacted by this company please contact us as soon as possible.

Workshop theme

Efficient approximation and integration of multivariate functions is a crucial task for the numerical treatment of many multi-parameter real-world problems. Typically, the computation time of algorithms
grows dramatically in the number of variables. This has led to a deep and actively developing area of multivariate approximation known under the name “Hyperbolic Cross Approximation” and "Sparse Grids" which fits very well to function classes with a bounded mixed derivative. Those functions appear naturally in probability and discrepancy theory. They further serve as suitable framework for the treatment of the electronic Schroedinger equation. Recently, driven by applications in engineering, biology, medicine and other areas of science, new challenging problems have appeared. The theory of hyperbolic cross approximation and the related theory of functions with mixed smoothness are under detailed study for more than 50 years. It is understood that both theoretical analysis and construction of practical algorithms are rather difficult problems. This explains why many fundamental problems in this area are still unsolved which has been the main motivation for us to organize this workshop.

Deadline for applications: 26th October 2018
